100% historically approved · decision due ~24 Oct
I would like to carry out the following works: 1. Prune all overhanging branches of a bay tree: a) back to the inside boundary of the garden party wall between 126 and 128 Offord Road (the branches over hang by about 1.5m; b) the full height of the tree The trunk of the tree is located in the garden of 126 Offord - I believe it's in the garden accessed by the upper maisonette. The Bay tree is about 9m tall, has 3 trunks and is 30cm from the party garden wall between 126 and 128 Offord Road The property (freehold) is owned by Islington Council and they are well aware of the tree. The pruning will be carried out in September and respect bird nesting season needs. I have obtained a quote from Forbes Tree Care (respected arborists, who also undertake work for Islington Council). They will undertake the works set out (AMENDED 29/08/25)
